PAGE FOUR PROGRESSIVE BLOCK VETO CERTAIN TO WE, B HOUT Who Ever Is Elected President Will Be Hamstrung By Lack Os a Majority BY HARRY B HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Oct, 31—Twt years, at least, of comparative in action. Two years—perhaps foui —of “status quo.” This is the prospect respor;- : b!< for the complacency with which £ large part of the population here ir east regards the scrambled politiea situation, which seems certain tc leave the progressive bloc with a veto power in Congress and to leave whoever is elected president ham strung for the lack of a legislative majority sufficient to put into effect any major controversial policies. The result of this situation, while it necessarily would be detrimental to the prestige, pride and power of any of the political parties, it is held, might be a good thing for the nation.

Anything that promises to put tl.e ■ crakes on the enactment of law-, ord still m(ore law’s, touching* every -I phase of personal and businer x<‘- n I lationships, is being loolteff upon 1' with growing regard oy an itaereas [ ingly large part of the people. The thing that could most effec tively bring this result—the enact ment of a minimum of new laws— ’ .would be the absence of one-party control and administration domina- L tion in Congress. Then only mea sures so well founded and so gene rally supported as to win more than ' mere party- backing would stand any * chance of passage. * * • This result, of course, would couse a lot of brainstorm ; in Wash ington. There would be a lot of sound and fury here. ' The capital dome would rock. From a strictly Washington viewpoint the situation’ would b:> terrible. It would seem, i here, doubtless, that the disruption of the nation was at hand. But the nation outside of Wash ington could proceed calmly aoout its affairs. Business could go ahead knowing that tariff and taxes for I the immediate future, would be un -1 changed. The certainty of “things as they are” would replace the un certainty of “things as thev may Os course there would be no pro- I gross, except as a settled state brings stability and secureness. , Our movement “back to normalcy” 1 or “ahead to Utopia” would be by ■ our own efforts. It would not be . legislated upon us. » » « Should Coolidge, for instance, be re-elected, the new Congress will not be called into extra session whe ther Republicans control it or whe ther an insurgent “balance of pow er” remain in the saddle. The short session of the present Congress, from Dec 1 to March ; 4, will be occupied with the pas sage of appropriation bi''s. This would mean no Con gressional activity in general legislation before December, 1925, at the earlies. Evon rl on a poss ible Democratic-Insurgent coalition would be ineffective, since the Coo lidge veto would still be working and the G. 0. P. would still be strong enough in Congress to block any over-riding of a veto that pro tected any Republican policy, * * * For this reason the prospect of a Congressional deadlock and a vir tual impasse in the passage of par ty measures is not causing half’-fie I worry through the .business and In dustrie least that it-is in the west. Here the status quo is rather liked. If it can keep that it’ll be satisfied.

United States in 1923 $10.7S for automobile tax, according to Prof. F. O. Snow, of the Highway Ue-j partinent of Georgia Tech, while in, Georgia the fee averaged $14,1:: for passenger cars, and $16.86 for trucks, in figures compiled for The Associated Press. The department also found, the statement says, that last year the several state sin the union coil cl od $188,613,074 for automobile license tags with 81 per cent, or $153,226,636, of this amount being spent for roads under the direction and supervision of state highway departments. As the result of considerable re search work that has been con ducted at the institution by the highway department students, it is ascertained that thirty five states and the District of Co: uc'b i <‘t I-1 lect gasoline taxes. In these s r ates it has been ascertained that there are 1,954,886 miles of rural high ways, or 66 1-2 per cent of the rural highways of the country. “Fifteen states levy a tax of two cents a gallon, eight states one cent a gallon, nine states three cents a gallon, two states two and one half cents a gallon, and one state four cents a gallon,” say the statement. The Georgia Tech Highway De partment further gives out the in formation that 53 1-2 per cert cf the gas tax of the United States is used for highways under the direc tion of the state highway depart ments. Taking the . eight stales that have a one cent tax per gallon of gasoline, the average amount of gas used per car annually is given as 450 gallons', which gives an in come of $4.50 to each car, the statement shows. I “Assuming that 6,000 miles per year is the average mileage of a car,” says the report, “it figures out that the toll per car for each mile in these states is 75 cents, cr it would cost a car owner in gaso line toll 7 1-2 cents per 100 miles traveled,” the report states.
